rising to offer resolution. General Keifer at
once moved that all resolutions so to the com
mittee without debate This was adopted. Mr.
Grosvenor then read the following resolution:
Recognizing, as the Republicans of Ohio al
ways have, the gifted and tried statesmen of
the Republican party of other States, loyal and
uufaltering in their devotion to the success of
the organization in 1883, under whatever stand
ard-bearer the Republican National Convention
may select, they have Just pride in the record
and career OF John Sherman as a member of the
Republican party and statesman of fidelity,
large experience and great ability. His career
as a statesman began with the birth of the Re
publican party. He has grown and developed
with the growth of that organization. His
genius and state. manship are stamped on the
records of the party and the statutes and con-
slitution OF our country; and, believing his
nomination for the Office of President would be
wise and ludicious, we respectfully present his
name to the people of the United States as II
candidate, and announce our hearty support for
him for that office.
vile, arose and offered the ultimatum of the
anti-Sherman delegates in the following resolu-
ton:
Res0lced That we hereby pledge the united
and enthusiastic support of the Republicans OF
Ohio to the nominee of the next Republican
National Convention, and in this Convention
we call the attention of the Republicans of Ohio
to the eminent services and splendid career of
Hon. John Sherman.
The Convention then adjourned until ten
O'Clock tomorrow morning The two resolu-
tons above gwen are IN the hands OF the Com
mittee on Resolutions, which will probably be
at work most of the night. The opponents of
the Sherman Endorsement offer to let the second
resolution pass unanimously, but declare that
they will fight the Grosvenor resolution on the
floor to the bitter end.
THE COMMITTEE DOES ITS WORK.
At II p. NJ. the Committee on Resolutions
passed the first relating to Sherman-the one
absolutely and uneualifedly ndorsing Senator
Sherman for the Presidential candidate-by a
vote of is to 3, which was afterwards made
unanimous. The platform reaffirms the Dow

seem to be demanded by the enlightened spirit

CRUISE OF THE RUSH,
Illegal Sealers Captured in Behring Sea
by u. s. Cruiser.

Copyright, 1857, by tie California issocGted Press
WASHINGTON, July 27th.-[Special. THE Sec
retary of the Treasury has received mail advices
from Captain shepard, commanding the rev
enue steamer Rush, in regard to his cruise in
Alaskan waters. From these reports it appears
that the schooners Onward, Thornton and Ade-
laide, captured by the Corwin last summer are
still mOOred at Ounalaska
On the 25th of June Captain Shepard boarded
and examined the steam schooner Kste and
Annie, of Portland, Or, Captain Lutiens Master,
ten miles eff st. George island in Behring sea
The vessel was furnished with q number of
small boats and all the necessary implements
for taking seals, and the Master admitted that
the vessel was on a sealing voyage and had on
board six sealskins, which he said were taken
before he entered BehTing sea. Captain Shep-
ard informed him that i'll taking seal in Tn at
part of Behring sea claimed by the United
States, or in the Territory of Alaska or the
waters thereof, he was violating the laws
of the United States, and that If he was
caught doing so he would sbe arrested and
his vessel seized. He promised to respect the
law, and the vessels parted company CAPTAIN
Shepard made this report because of the fact
that special Treasury Agent q. r. Tingle in
charge OF the seal islands OF Alaska has ex-
pressed his opinion of the law TO be that vessels
manned and fitted and provided with iInple-
ments for taking seal and salt for curing the
same, found in the waters of the Territory of
Alaska or that part of Behring sea claimed bv
the United States, were liable to seizure though
not found in the act of taking seal and without
other evidence that they had taken seal on the
waters named
Though the evidence of intention of violat-
ing the law in regard to taking seal when op-
portunity offered says Captain Shepard, is
unduestioned. do not fell warranted in seizing
vessels or making arrests until have unchaf
lengeable evidence that the law has been yio-
lated. He asks the Department for special in
struetions on this subject for his guidance in
similar cases in the future
On the 50th of June the. Rush seized the
schooner Challenge, Of Seattle, II. B. Jones,
Master aud Albert Douglass managing owner
for violation OF Section l ,96l of the Revised
Statutes, she having ski1s of female fur seals
and skins of unborn seals on board. The latter
the Master admitted, were taken from female

was anchored at Akoutan Island, Alaska when
seized, was taken to 0unalaska and the skins
numbering Isl, were delivered to the United
states Marshal there. Her arms, ammunition
etc, were taken on board the Rush and her
crew, numbering 10 men, were shipped at Port

NEW YORK, July 27th-fSpecial The Cen
eral Passenger Agents of the trunk lines met
yesterday. IL was expected that action would
be taken on the circular letter of the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific Railway TO all trunk
lines, announcing its readiness to accept their
contract for interchange of traffic involving the
abolition OF commissions in the trunk line ter
ritory The subject was not discussed There
is no certainty that it needs cooperative action
by the committee so long as each General Pass
senger Agent is satisfied that his colleagues
stand on the same footing with himself 1t is
probable that in a few days the trunk lines win
resume the sale of through tickets and check
ing through baggage over the Rock Island.
The step taken by the Rock Island is due 10
decision of the Int state Commerce Commits
sion in holding that il could afford 10 relief TO
the Rock Island ana Chicago and Alton for the
alleged discrimination by the trunk lines Sys-
TEN. Eastern railroad men regard the step as
shrewd one on the part of the Rock Island, so
long as the inevitable has to be faced by the
commission paying roads, for it will bring that
line into prominence and the agents viii recoE-
nlze the fact that the roed held out for the pol
Icy OF paving. There will be surrender OF the
